EA funds travel for competitive Apex Legends players following community backlash

After rambunctious community feedback on Twitter, Reddit, and other social media platforms, EA will fund the travel fees of all competitive teams taking part in year 2 Apex Legends events. This all happened within the course of 24 hours, and stands to make reaching events far more realistic for some of the worlds best players.

Previously, only the top five teams from APAC North, NA, and EMEA had their costs covered by the publishers of Apex Legends, as well as just the top 2 teams from APAC South and SA.

This, as you can imagine, put additional financial stress on certain teams who until this change in policy were going to have to fund the trip to Stockholm Sweden for the April 29 Split 2 playoffs. For teams based whole continents away, being expected to pay for their entire team plus coaching staff would have burnt a significant hole in their pocket.

If you're looking forward to jumping into Apex Legends Mobile, you won't have long to wait - Respawn Entertainment has been rolling its' free-to-play mobile shooter for months now. However, if you want to climb the Apex Legends ranks - on mobile, anyway - you should be warned: Apex Legends Mobile is mocking players who derank.

Apex Legends' ranked system is a cruel mistress, at times, and early footage of Apex Legends Mobile's ranked system suggests that things are going to be same on your phone. Reddit user 'Prakeet_khr' is one player that has shared their experiences with the mobile game's ranked system. When they found themselves deranking, from Master 1 to Diamond 1, they were met with the following message: "Your rank dropped. Such a pity!"

Laced with sarcasm, this isn't exactly the supportive message players are going to want to see when they're faced with defeat - however, fans online are finding the whole thing hilarious.

Apex Legends Unshackled event leaks hint at Flashpoint LTM return

Apex Legends' Warriors collection event has only just started, but a new set of Apex Legends Unshackled event leaks have surfaced online. Leakers and data miners are already sharing information about the next in-game event on the way to Respawn Entertainment's battle royale shooter; they reveal a return for the Flashpoint LTM, a new two-week reward tracker, and another batch of themed cosmetics. This comes just days after a huge set of Apex Legends character leaks.

Flashpoint is one game mode that many would agree is long overdue a comeback - and a lot of Apex Legends players might not even know what it's all about. In Flashpoint, all healing items have been removed and, in their place, Flashpoint Zones that heal players have been scattered across the map. When a player stands inside one, they are healed and their shields are replenished.

This LTM was last playable in October 2020, during the Aftermarket collection event.

Control Returns And More In The Warriors Collection Event

[h2]CONTROL IS BACK![/h2]

Our limited-time 9v9 mode Control is returning for two weeks with the Warriors Collection Event!

This time around Caustic Treatment on Kings Canyon has been added into the mix. So, squad up, select your loadout, and fight for total control over Olympus, Storm Point, and Kings Canyon. Brought to you by Silva Pharmaceuticals.

[h2]THE CAUSTIC TREATMENT[/h2]

Caustic Treatment has been converted into a three-point battleground for control over Kings Canyon.

Additional cover, ziplines, skydive launchers, and even a hover tank, have been added to the space. This was done with the intent of balancing the area and improving flow to the points.

Caustic’s Lab is a highly defensible fortress controlled by the right team and a combination of legends. However, with solid coordination, and a well-timed offensive push, defenders can easily be routed.

Lastly, in true Caustic fashion, you can “expedite the inevitable” by using the terminal inside his lab. Interacting with the console will raise the toxin levels, resulting in a damaging trap for legends attempting to capture B.
